### A. Internet Media Type message/http

In addition to defining the HTTP/1.0 protocol, this document serves as the specification for the Internet media type "message/http". The following is to be registered with IANA [13].

           Media Type name:         message

           Media subtype name:      http

           Required parameters:     none

           Optional parameters:     version, msgtype

                  version: The HTTP-Version number of the enclosed message
                           (e.g., "1.0"). If not present, the version can be
                           determined from the first line of the body.

                  msgtype: The message type -- "request" or "response". If
                           not present, the type can be determined from the
                           first line of the body.

           Encoding considerations: only "7bit", "8bit", or "binary" are
                                    permitted

           Security considerations: none
